I need to order several of these to store plates, do you think they will hold up if I stack 4-5 sets with plates on top of each other, or will the lids collaps on me?

These are very robust and I would not be concerned about stacking 2-3 high, but I think that 4-5 as you asked might be pushing it a little.

I am currently stacking mine 3 up on a shelf in my closet. They are remarkably sturdy when loaded with a dozen plates. I think you will be safe stacking up to four boxes tall especially if you put the lightest boxes on top.

I bought these to store my daughters wedding gift china in. They are all at my house still. I will me home later and will check it out to see how they stack. I think right now they are stacked about 3 high.

Hi Barbara I tried to send you a picture thru this link but could not. If you want to see a picture of my stack email me at donnameece@aol.com. But the lids are pretty sturdy. If your boxes will be completely full you will have no problem stacking them as long as they are against something sturdy like wall or back of cabinet. Enjoy!

I wouldn't stack that many. I might stack two but I'd be concerned about more. The covers do not zip but merely lay on top. If they zipped that would provide more strength around a critical mass.

I don't know if I'd stack that many atop each other. Maybe up to three, but I don't think I'd be comfortable with 4-5 filled with plates because these get heavy. Rather, I put my teacup box on top of the plate box and then a wine glass one on top of that so that I could maximize my vertical storage but put lighter ware on top.

That all depends upon how big or bulky the lids are. I can tell you this: I'm ordering another rack soon because we have so many of them and I am very pleased with how this is holding up. We tend to pile a lot of them on the one that's there and can use another.

Yes they will stack but you lose about 1/2 of the space as they sit down inside each other. I doubt you could stack too many as they would topple.

Yes they stack very nicely, they actually are shipped that way so you should have no problem stacking for storage. I love mine and for the price they are made well and look really nice!!!

I bought this for storing plates and it works well for me. One thing to consider though is the thickness profile of your plate. Because of the wider spacing of the supports, if you plates are thin and have a low profile they will lean back more. You could put more than one plate in between the supports in that case. My plates are thick and have a higher profile (almost like a shallow bowl) so they stand up nicely. One advantage of storing your plates this way is your plates do not get scratched from stacking on each other. This can be an issue with some types of ceramic and stoneware types. Another nice feature is the easy access to each individual plate. I bought this for storing plates and it works well for me. One thing to consider though is the thickness profile of your plate.

Somewhat. They dont fit all the way down, but I do stack mine...but only a couple at a time. I think all of them together would make them topple over.

I am very pleased with my set and will probably purchase another set that I will stack on the first set. I'm not sure how much higher you would go. If you fastened the ends and secured them some way, you could probably go much higher than just stacking them. I am very happy with my set.

The boxes seem strong enough, but the lids do not stay on very well. If you really want them to have lids, you will probably have to tape them. Hope this helps.

They stack nicely as long as the contents are well balanced. They are very sturdy so they hold lots of stuff, but if the top tiers get lopsided I suspect there might be a gravitational incident.

The biggest problem with stacking them is weight. Unless you are storing something extremely light, the weight of the top unit is going to cause the bottom unit to buckle, making it a huge pain to open the drawers.

They are strong enough to stack at least 4 or 5 (we have 4 stacked no problem). Of course, "filled with clothing" has a wide variation of weight. But if you can easily lift the container to put it on the stack, the stack should be fine.

The containers are stackable ONLY WHEN EMPTY. See my review posted today. The company told me directly the containers are not designed to be stacked when full. I found out the hard way - when I stacked them, the ones on the bottom bulged and cracked.

Probably they can be stacked 3 to 4 high, but I don't know how stable they'll be. I have them stacked 2 high to bring a table up to adequate level and they remain very sturdy. I say give it a try !

They stack for storage. Stacking while using might work, but they are not designed for this.

I store cd's in mine and they are heavy when full,I have 2 stacks 4 high and have not had trouble with the lids.

I would not recommend stacking them since they are tapered top to bottom. They are very durable and could be used for flat storage.

Not really, they are a ceramic material with a smooth surface. I don't think they would stay stacked very well. You would risk them slipping & chipping or breaking.
